How one family is sending 13 kids to college, living debt free — and still plans to retire early

In February we shared the news about this couple with 13 kids on pace to retire early. Erica Johnston from The Washington Post interviewed and wrote in-depth about this family who is living debt free and still plans to retire early while sending 13 kids to college. Johnston described this family: ” Rob and Sam Fatzinger, lifelong residents of Bowie, Md., lead a single-income family in one of the country’s most expensive regions. Rob’s income never topped $50,000 until he was 40; he’s now 51 and earns just north of $100,000 as a software tester. They have 13 children. Which means they require things like a seven-bedroom house and a 15-passenger van. Four children have graduated from college, three are undergrads and six are on the runway. Yet they paid off their mortgage early four years ago. They have no debt — never have, besides mortgages. And Rob is on track to retire by 62. This family gets the gold medal for being frugal. This family is the Einstein of economical.” (washingtonpost.com)
